more than one clik! CLIKIE! <<The clik! drives, which can also be linked to desktop computers, have a suggested retail price under $200 and the disks will be available for $9.95 each, Iomega said.>> I did say that it was more of a marketing strategy this anoncement.

>> It sounds like the potential market for Clik should be much larger than for Zip. If electronic games like Playstation and/or Nintendo start using Clik the market will be huge.<< 1. Speed- Clique is too slow (according to Iomega specs) for gaming. Even Cd- Rom has a faster transfer rate, and Nintendo 64 doesn't use CD-ROm because it's too slow. Nintendo 64 uses cartridges. Much faster. 2. Margins- CD Roms for gaming cost below .70› to manufacture. Clique costs are much higher.
